Atonement Day required a fast by all.

God does not fit inside of any box you create. This includes one that requires the box of time. God is both in time, outside of time and the barrier between the two realities.

Just to clarify.... Exposition is explaining Exegetical is more "what it means today for you" Expositional will discuss grammar, language, history and/or anthropology that is critical to understanding the section it refers to. It also will mention other scriptures that the writer is...

I wasn't suggesting that you personally are denigrating Catholics....it comes up often enough that it needed to be said. And the Catholics I've met in Europe can vary widely from region to region....all depending upon their leadership. Those in Eastern Europe vx those in Western Europe are...

It doesn't require a scholar.... Look at this whole concept of what you just learned about Jesus's statement "I am the Light of the world" not very scholarly...simple and easy to grasp. BUT what it does require is someone to be more interested in expositional teaching instead of exegetical...

This may be true of the diocese in your area....but it's not universally true. Even those churches which focus on Catechisms, patriarchs, Prayers, and Psalms will still have a few verses of scriptures read and explained.

CE is short for "Catholic Edition". If I wrote it funny....I meant that Catholics DO USE and their Bibles contain the apocryphal sections....it's where the whole concept of Purgatory originated from...which is strictly a Catholic doctrine. To me, The apocryphal sections are not scriptures...

The Current Bibles being published use a conglomeration of manuscripts that edit out obvious additions, deletions, summaries, or copyist mistakes. Alexandrian, Syriac, and Masoretic texts. For the Old Testament it's Biblica Hebraica Stuttengartensia (BHS for short) And United Bible Society...

Yes! The "Originalist" viewpoint. Meaning that the original author had a current audience in mind when he wrote his gospel or letter and we need to understand it from their point of view.

Calvinism is debunked by the story in John about the man born blind. It's a huge part of the Gospel because with this story it tells us why some believe and others do not. The blindness is a metaphor for the reality of salvation. I believe in the authority of scriptures, not a system, not...

Actually the first Old Testament was in Aramaic and had targums (commentaries) to go with it. Which is what was spoken by Jesus often. Sure the linguistics of Hebrew had been mostly restored by the time of Jesus's ministry tour but most people used the Aramaic translation of scriptures...

According to the Archeologists and historians I've heard they had a fairly complete New Testament by 100 AD shortly after the Death of St. John and St. Mark. Only Revelations and Jude were added in ~300 AD because of remote locations and weren't circulated. The Sianaiticus Codex is the...

See.... Both up to this point @lforrest & @MA2444 are taking the viewpoint that's is fairly traditional. However....this is NOT the case with every denomination including Catholics, SDA, and AOG.(several other charismatics too) Then there's Episcopalians....some do and some don't hold...

So.... Apparently this is a thing. Does the church (man) have authority over the Scriptures OR Do the Scriptures have authority over the Church? It's along similar lines of the old question paradox: Does God have a Plan for me? VX What is God's plan and how can I be a part of it?

It's a mockumentary.... He makes fun of common Cognitive Biases and cognitive Dissonance created by media and political theater. He did it with real leaders of various groups....(They all have removed their social media presence for obvious reasons and their groups now defunct) He's kinda...

I hear these stories.... However, this is not likely true in totality. The State is not allowed to tell anyone anything about the child except guardians and parents....meanwhile the parent who loses custody of the child can and will tell the press anything they wish. To put pressure on the...

Same things have happened with minimum income supplements. Nobody gets off them. Nobody does much of anything. The drug overdoses go up. Suicide rates go up. Crime doesn't stop or even slows down...it increases. Fact of life despite the claims. We in America have the richest poor...

They don't. Most of the time the court room is cleared out for these situations...because so few actually can get ahold of themselves. You should ask a lawyer how child custody hearings really go.

Her "You see Timmy" moments were cut straight out of Lassie reruns. Completely unbelievable except by complete simps. One second she is looking disgusted and hateful towards Trump and calling him every name in the book but then goes all sweetly pleading with all kinds of heart and empathy for...
